I am PREGNANT.
Okay, maybe not. But now that I have your attention, I can continue.
In Kenzieopia, money isn't a concern. She spends without thinking on ridiculous things that retain her interest for only five minutes.
However, Kenzieopia was recently corrupted. I was forced to come back to the real world because I am an adult. And as an adult, I have bills that need to be paid. Horrible things, those bills. They fly around my head, screeching like Howlers until I give up and surrender my money. It's like being mugged every month.
I was looking at giving my cellphone up in favor of paying my six hundred car insurance payment. Let me remind you, this is for a car that is in New York while I'm in Illinois. You can imagine my resentment about paying it, but that doesn't mean I can skip.
Along with that, I now have a monthly $120 payment for student loans. Sixty more than what it was last month. Still, it can't be helped.
Alas, I was biting my nails hoping that I'd just barely be able to pay all of this month after a month vacation. Good fortune struck via my mother becoming old!
Yes, my mother is now old. That old where you're still considered to be a safe driver, but very close to the old where you need to get tested again. The old where your car insurance drops two hundred dollars. The old where your daughter thanks you for this, but you don't remember five minutes later because you may be going senile.
Now, this good news benefits a lot of people other than I. First, this means that my boyfriend is getting a Snorlax Beanbag Chair for his Birthvalenversary. Custom made, might I add.
But, dear readers, this benefits you too! I'm going to at least one book signing in February and getting a spare book! I'll be having a contest where one of you will win said signed book! And all will rejoice in Kenzieopia.
:)
Just so you know, if you were pregnant I'd knit you itty-bitty baby things. For future reference and whatnot. Laura would probably be in on it too, if only so we could go in together on the shipping...
